A link to more detailed guidance is provided directly from the View Applications service, once logged into the portal.

Find applications by title number, HM Land Registry reference, customer reference and colleague.

Use to order list of applications by title number, customer reference number or received by HM Land Registry.

Correspondence

4 sub-categories within the expanded row are:

  • For Review
  • Response received
  • Requisition resolved
  • For information only

These enhance the ability of customers to manage and track the progress of their applications.

For Review

These items raise points that are outstanding against the application. Provide a full response to allow the application to proceed. If you have already provided a response, HM Land Registry will need to confirm you have satisfactorily replied to all the points before progressing the application.

Response received

These items have been received through the separate portal ‘Reply to Requisition’ service against the application.

Requisition resolved

Once HM Land Registry has confirmed all the ‘Review’ points have been satisfactorily replied to, the correspondence item will move from the ‘Review’ section to this category.

For information only

These items are for information only and do not need you to respond. They include letters, notices, requisitions, and warnings and letters of cancellation.

Files

Shows the documentation issued by HM Land Registry on completion or cancellation of the application. These can be viewed and downloaded. The documents for applications lodged via Business Gateway are not shown within this service.
